Three Asheville restaurants, Sunny Point, HomeGrown and Red Stag Grill, took home honors in the Best Dish in North Carolina competition. The state-wide contest showcases restaurants incorporating local ingredients in a signature entree.

Restaurants were divided into two regional categories: an Eastern Piedmont/Coastal Region, stretching from Chatham and Alamance counties east, and a Western Piedmont/Mountain Region, which included an area between Guilford and Cherokee counties. Each region included a fine dining and casual dining category.
